Joining a strong roster of food and beverage tenants, food on-the-go retailer, Greggs, has announced plans to open a new shop at The Junction Retail and Leisure park.
With over 2,600 outlets across the UK, the popular brand will take a 2,000sq ft store at the scheme, creating employment opportunities in the local area. The new store will offer a range of iconic savouries, hot drinks and healthier choices available for takeaway, sit-in or Click + Collect.
Gillian Long, Retail Operations Director at Greggs, said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming Greggs fans and new customers alike to our brand-new shop. We’re delighted to be bringing jobs to the Antrim area and being able to provide customers of The Junction with the opportunity to experience their Greggs favourites.”
With more new tenants set to join the scheme later in 2025, including the UK’s largest gym operator Pure Gym, The Junction continues to hold steady against the nationwide downturn in footfall, recording a +16 per cent increase in footfall and +13 per cent increase in sales against 2023.
Paul McCann, Asset Manager at Lotus Property said: “It’s fantastic to see how well the scheme is performing and welcoming household names such as Greggs to the scheme stands true to the strong customer demographics we have built since acquiring the scheme in 2016, providing retailers with the confidence to invest.”
